Forecasts

Wayfinder (4/5), Smarty Wild (2/1), Patroclus (85/40), When You're Ready (4/1)

PATROCLUS remains lightly raced and can resume his progress to get back to winning ways. He failed to meet expectations earlier this month, but his yard was going through a quiet spell at the time so he can put that effort behind him. Wayfinder hasn't been the most consistent this season but has gone well on his 3 starts here, while Smarty Wild had looked as good as ever on his penultimate outing prior to falling last time.
